Chapter 263

Angela looked at her phone and saw a photo of herself exiting the hospital.

She had no idea who had shared the post, but the headline read, "Leaving Her Biological Father to Fend for Himself: Is This a Failure of the Law or a Moral Decline?"

The content was very straightforward. It detailed that Angela ignored her critically ill father in the hospital, leaving him alone to fend for himself. In conclusion, her behavior was outrageous.

Angela nonchalantly scrolled through the content and read through the unpleasant comments. She smiled faintly and handed the phone back to Fiona.

"I'm feeling a bit hungry. Shall we eat, Madam Fiona?" she asked as she headed to the kitchen for cutlery, but Fiona stopped her.

"Are you sure you don't need any assistance? At the very least, please try to manage the negative news. Graham Group's PR is truly rubbish," Fiona remarked.

Angela snorted coldly. "The PR department works for Andrew, so they won't support me. I'm still handling it slowly. Don't worry. They can't get rid of me with this issue."

She spoke confidently and calmly as if those challenges were insignificant to her.

Angela turned to Dexter and asked, "By the way, how are you feeling today? Would you like me to bring in another doctor for a further examination?"

"What's your motive for being nice to me?" Dexter asked, tasting a piece of fish.

He was inherently noble and elegant, with even his casual movements reflecting grace. Unfortunately, he often spoke harshly.

Angela simply glared at him in silence as she continued eating.

Dexter turned to her and abruptly asked, "I'm fine. Why did you ask so?"

She replied, "Nothing. I owe you a favor, and it's been on my mind for some time. I want to repay it when I get the chance. Your birthday is next month-I'll throw you a fun party to make you happy. How does that sound?"

She hadn't smiled like this in such a long time.

"No need," Dexter replied impatiently as he set down his cutlery and walked out. Angele was stunned. "I didn't provoke him, did I? What's wrong with him?"

She was frustrated as well. Her idea was perfectly rational. Even though she was celebrating his birthday, she didn't expect him to cover the expenses. She couldn't help but question why he was angry.

Fiona sighed. "When he saved you, he didn't expect you to repay him. Did you see it as a transaction?"

Angela was even more puzzled. "I didn't. I just want to repay..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly paused. She realized she

subconsciously didn't want to feel indebted to Dexter.

In the next few days, the rumors escalated, and Angela became the center of attention. She was harshly criticized by people from all backgrounds.

Harvey even reached out to ask about it. When he called her to inquire about the situation, it signaled that the incident was indeed serious.

This whole scandal was orchestrated by those who wanted to divert Angela's attention. They wanted her to dedicate her time to visiting Bill at the hospital and taking care of him, thereby draining her energy and hindering her from managing critical aspects of the collaboration with MK Corporation. swnovel

Following that, they could exploit the situation and create chaos. If the partnership with MK Corporation went wrong, Angela would inevitably face backlash, putting

her position as CEO in jeopardy.

Angela was well aware of the

situation, yet she remained completely.composed. She reassured Harvey calmly,

emphasizing that their collaboration would remain unaffected. Her reassurance made Harvey relax. swnovel

Upon returning home, Angela noticed Dexter's shoes in the hallway and his briefcase resting on the couch. She assumed that he was in the study upstairs.

Hence, she decided to take the initiative to talk to him and resolve the deadlock. It was for her sake too-she was too kind-hearted to let things be and wanted to find ways to repay the kindness she had

received. swnovel
